Our Vision
Whether you are a new visitor or you are a long-standing member, we want everyone experiencing GROWTH. GROWTH are the pillars of the church and something we hope for everyone.
G - Go to God daily in prayer and Bible study
One of the key principles in all of Christianity is talking with God through prayer. It is our main avenue of communication and something that needs to be done on a daily basis. Because the Bible is written by God for us, it is also key to spend time in study to know how to live and how to serve God and those around us.
R - Relationships that are supportive and encouraging
Life is not meant to be lived alone. We need people there to celebrate our "mountain top" experiences and we need people there when we walk through the valley. We also need people who are willing to speak the truth in love to provide encouragement when needed, support when needed and accountability when needed.
O - Obedience to God in ALL things
Choosing to follow God is not a pick and choose relationship. When accepting Jesus Christ as Savior, surrendering part of our life is not an option. He wants all or none. So obedience to God in ALL things is not just something said, but something that is seeking to be done.
W - Worship and pray together as a church
The Church is the entity God created for believers to gather and fellowship together. In a culture that seeks to connect people around the world, it is vital to make time weekly to gather together as the Church to praise God and to pray for each other.
T - Tell others the Good News
Whether you are an elegant speaker or the quiet worker, every person who calls themselves a Christian is tasked with telling others about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is evangelism. The Good News can be spread through our actions and through our words. However it is shared, the one thing we know, it is meant to be shared.
H - Holy Spirit - allowing Him to empower your life and ministry
The Holy Spirit was sent by Jesus to do many things for humanity. For those who do not believe in Jesus, the Holy Spirit is actively working to bring them to faith in Jesus Christ. For those who have believed in Jesus, the Holy Spirit is the gift you received at the moment of salvation to provide the seal for eternity. He is provided to lead all in obedience to God, to provide the gifts needed to best serve the people and to provide conviction when sin occurs. The Holy Spirit is not someone who is to be suppressed but is God to be unleashed in every life of every believer.
